3M" Novec” Engineered Fluids For Medical Device Manufacturing Advanced solvent technology for precision cleaning, lubricant deposition, tube swelling — and more. 801LS-ZL2-998i 3M” Novec™ Engineered Fluids Sustainable solvent technology for today’s emerging needs Growing pubic concern about the effects of chemicals on human heath, safety and the ‘environment have led to restrictions onthe use of many kinds of process solvents used bythe medical device industry Inevahuating alternatives, users of these materials must balance the need for cost-effective performance wit that ofa sustainable, long-term solution ~ a solution that will still be viable formany years to come, 3M” Novec” Engineered Fluids were designed to help you achieve that balance. Based on 3M’s proprietary segregated hydrofluoroether (HFE) chemistry, Novee fuids combine proven performance with an oustanding environmental and safety profile: + Zero ozone depletion potential + Low global warming potential + Now-flarnmable + Low in toxicity “HAPs fice *US. EPA SNAP-tpproved Novee fui are accepted by regulatory agencies around the word s alternatives to HCFC-225 and HCFC-I4IB, And, because they ae nonflammable, lw in tonicity and are generally recognized as sustainable replacements for those solvents targeted for phase-out by international bodies, Novec fds are ideal candidates to replace materials, such as trchlorethylene, methylene chloride and n-Propylbromide(nPb). ‘The versatile solvent solutions Novee fd are available in “neat” fort fr light duty cleaning, tube swelling, deposition and other applications —and as azeotropes or blends of azeotropes, which offer higher solvency for more dficult-¢o-remeve soils, Novee fluids are also used as rinsing agents in conjunction ‘vith low volatility slvating agents. This co-solvent cleaning process is effective forthe removal ofthe most challenging soils, such as heavy oils, greases and waxes, Engineered fl safetyebe formance environment ‘STVIISLYH SAY WP AFR ORT 801LS-ZL2-998Applications Precision cleaning {3M Novee" Engineered Fluids offera number of advantages fr manufacturers of ‘medical devices and equipment. They have demonstrated exellent compatibility with sensitive materials such as acrylic and polycarbonate, as well as a wide range of other pasties, elastomers and metals. Their low surface tension, low vapor diffusion rates and high liquid densities make Novee fluids ideal for use in vapor degreasing equipment. They re fastalrying and typically ofer lower drg-out losses than conventional degreasing solvents, ‘Whats more, Novee fluids easly penetrate tight spaces on complex parts, then dain off easily so they don't become trapped instal spaces Unlike aqueous solutions, Novee Huds donot support biological growth, and ae less equipment-and energy-intensive. In ation, parts cleaned in Novee fluids dry quickly and spot-fice, with less chance for corrosion, (See box below for more benef.) Deposition Nove ican disperse wide varity of oatingsinchdng silicone, PTFE and heparin ‘These coatings can be successfully deposited on many different types of surfaces, including ‘meas plastis and eistamess. Specie deposition applications include hypadennic nese, surgi and etn blades, ood bags, ers and PVC tubing. Nove Mids hae low surface ‘tension for uniform coating, and evaporate rapidly to potentially speed your drying process, Tube swelling ‘Nove Muids cu rapidly swell silicone tubing end ther elastomers, which then recover to ‘ther orignal dimensions on exposure to air or ina drying even, Novee fluids evaporate ‘quickly, leaving litle or uo residual solvent behind, Reaction media ‘Oxygen and other gases are highly soluble in Novee Ouids, making them suitable for use as reaction media. The inertness and nontlamunabity of Novee fuids are especially useful properties for extractions, sepamitions and anhydrous reactions Other mecical applications "Nove fluids ca be used asa inert media to separate samples going fr diagnostic analysis.
